man all you ppl finding carriers are making me jealous

i havent seen a yamato since i started my full real career either. and ive never seen a carrier.
pretty sure im in a Tambor, early 42 second patrol.
so far i have a tanker. and large euro passenger to my name, along with 3 other ships, ive cleaned my forward tubes havent had a chance to use the rear tubes yet. may just pay a port a visit on the way home.
traveling on the surface isnt even possible now, im out of AA ammo. there is a litteral walking carpet of planes out there.
i ran into the first lot on my way to engage a task force, and it had me hoping.
after the 30th attack i went under and lost all hope of ever catching up with them however. having these guys come in 3 at a time, visual warning only, its not easy.

so if there was a carrier in the area

im afraid i wont be seeing him.
ive found singapore a wonderfull place to hunt. lots of activity in that area, very risky though with depths not exceeding 150 feet. makes it hard to evade.
now back to my patrol area for the umpteenth time to say if i can convince it i actually patrolled there.
